                It has to stop sometime otherwise the next administration will be worse.

                BHO is a bit blatant about it saying that he is willing to use EO's to bypass the legislative branch. Maybe others have thought it, but others did not say it.

                  I can't wait until there is a Republican president in there and they do anything substantive by executive order. The howling (and hypocrisy) around here will be deafening. Just goes to show more and more people care about the end result they want to see and don't give a hoot how they get there.

                  Obama's overreach in trying to govern to a significant extent by executive order should be a scary thing to everyone who values our government system (which is functioning poorly due to abuse from all sides, but is better than what we see elsewhere in the world).

                    You realize that BHO has used executive orders less than most Presidents, don't you?

                      He didn't primarily pursue policy changes by unilaterally using executive orders, unlike Obama. Very simple difference. But, the next Republican president will feel free reign to do so after Obama's abuse of the process.

                        BHO is being sued over something that Bush did while he was President. I find that hilarious.

                          Oh, stop it. Name major policy changes any other president put in place by executive order. Obama does it like with alarming regularity. But, hey, I know in your book anything Obama does is A okay.

                            There are Executive Orders (National Chicken Day) and there are EXECUTIVE ORDERS (circumvent the will of Congress).

                            The people should be happy with the first and terrified of the second.

                              Then why are they suing him over something Bush did and not one of those? Or Impeaching him?

                                Bush is somehow to blame for Obama's executive orders he's been issuing whilly nilly? Even for you that's a stretch, but I guess even 6-7 years on some people aren't over blaming Bush for everything. Certainly if Bush had done better our men's soccer team would have won the World Cup.
